Comparison Of Modified Dual Ternary Indexing And Multi-Key Hashing Algorithms For Music Information Retrieval

In this work we have compared two indexing algorithms that have been used to index and retrieve Carnatic music songs. We have compared a modified algorithm of the Dual ternary indexing algorithm for music indexing and retrieval with the multi-key hashing indexing algorithm proposed by us. The modification in the dual ternary algorithm was essential to handle variable length query phrase and to accommodate features specific to Carnatic music. The dual ternary indexing algorithm is adapted for Carnatic music by segmenting using the segmentation technique for Carnatic music. The dual ternary algorithm is compared with the multi-key hashing algorithm designed by us for indexing and retrieval in which features like MFCC, spectral flux, melody string and spectral centroid are used as features for indexing data into a hash table. The way in which collision resolution was handled by this hash table is different than the normal hash table approaches. It was observed that multi-key hashing based retrieval had a lesser time complexity than dual-ternary based indexing The algorithms were also compared for their precision and recall in which multi-key hashing had a better recall than modified dual ternary indexing for the sample data considered.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure

A Hybrid Bacterial Swarming Methodology for Job Shop Scheduling Environment

Optimized utilization of resources is the need of the hour in any manufacturing system. A properly planned schedule is often required to facilitate optimization. This makes scheduling a significant phase in any manufacturing scenario. The Job Shop Scheduling Problem is an operation sequencing problem on multiple machines with some operation and machine precedence constraints, aimed to find the best sequence of operations on each machine in order to optimize a set of objectives. Bacterial Foraging algorithm is a relatively new biologically inspired optimization technique proposed based on the foraging behaviour of E.coli bacteria. Harmony Search is a phenomenon mimicking algorithm devised by the improvisation process of musicians. In this research paper, Harmony Search is hybridized with bacterial foraging to improve its scheduling strategies. A proposed Harmony Bacterial Swarming Algorithm is developed and tested with benchmark Job Shop instances. Computational results have clearly shown the competence of our method in obtaining the best schedule

Clinical study of maternal complications associated with eclampsia

Background: Eclampsia is still one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity in developing countries. Though the incidence in developed nations has drastically reduced, it has remained the same over years in India, mainly due to lack of awareness, poor socio-economic status and inadequate ante natal check-ups. The objective of this study was to determine the presentation, demographic features, risk factors, management, maternal mortality and morbidity, in women presenting with eclampsia.Methods: This study was conducted in Vanivilas hospital from January to December 2014 for 12 months. Total 230 women with eclampsia were studied with respect to their age, parity, socio economic status, gestational age, details of previous antenatal check-ups, clinical features at presentation, nature and number of convulsions, treatment received before admission, management in the institution and maternal morbidity and mortality.Results: The incidence of Eclampsia was 1.4%. 30% were below 20 years of age, 45% were primigravidas, 97% were referred cases with inadequate antenatal checkups. 68% had antepartum eclampsia, 22% had intrapartum eclampsia and 10% had postpartum eclampsia. 24% had instrumental delivery, 24% underwent caesarean delivery. There were 17.4% ICU admissions, 5.7% acute kidney injury cases and 13 maternal deaths.Conclusions: Eclampsia still remains a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in india. Information about danger signs of pre-eclampsia/ eclampsia should be made available to antenatal clients. Importance of timely referral to the tertiary center should be emphasised to the peripheral health workers

A SOFTWARE AGENT FRAMEWORK TO OVERCOME MALICIOUS HOST THREATS AND UNCONTROLLED AGENT CLONES

ABSTRACT An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through effectors. Enormous number of researches is going on by comparing the functional similarities of the Human Immune System for making the agents more adaptable in regard with security. In this research work, the functional similarities of Human Nervous system are given to the agents by proposing an agent-based framework where the agents can adapt themselves from one of the threats, the malicious host attack. The agents become aware of the malicious hosts' attack by learning and coordination is maintained by a Co-Agent to make this system work successfully. The concept of learning and coordination are taken from the Human Nervous system functionality. This system has shown a better functioning in maintaining the system performance by making the agents aware of malicious hosts and by producing limited number of clones
